Video - When Dimitrov Lost His Cool in Shanghai: A Rare Tense Scene with a Fan
Known for his composure and elegance, Grigor Dimitrov lost his temper last year during the Shanghai Masters 1000.
Highly popular in China, Dimitrov had to navigate through a massive crowd after his third-round victory against Alexei Popyrin.
The tension quickly escalated when the Bulgarian nearly tripped because of a fan. Annoyed, the 2017 Masters winner turned to the fan in question and pointed his finger at him.
Rare footage from Dimitrov, who was then restrained by security.
